London, Apr. 15.
Following the appeal of Lord Plymouth, chairman, for a spirit of goodwill at the future meetings of the Non-Intervention sub-Committee, held at the Foreign Office, the Italian representative, Signor Dino Grandi, declared in response that he was prepared to resume discussion of the withdrawal of foreign volunteers from Spain. But he insisted that Italy's acceptance of such a discussion depended upon a similar response from other nations' representatives.

RING BATTLE
Welshman Outpoints Ex-Champion of World
GREAT CROWD ATTENDS AT HARRINGAY STADIUM
Harringay Stadium, April 15.
Tommy Farr, Welsh and British Empire heavyweight champion, before the biggest crowd for a fight in Britain since Carpentier fought Beckett, outpointed the former world's champion, Max Baer, the Californian.
The crowd was the most fashionable seen at an English ringside in some time. Notables present included Lord Hewart, Lord Burghley, Lord Kemsley, Lord Loch, Lord Stanley, the Marquess and Marchioness of Queensberry. Walter Neusel, the German fighter, who will probably be meeting the winner at Harringay this summer, watched the fight with close attention.
Baer outweighed and outreached the Welshman, and he had five years of ring experience to the good as well. Baer is 28 and Farr 23. Farr weighed 14 stone 2 Ib. and was the first to enter the ring to a crescendo of applause. He appeared very confident. Bäer, weighing 15 stone 1 b. was in a happy mood, and playfully punched his seconds in the ribs as they tied on his gloves.
